A good iron makes me so happy! :)Stephanie Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553998075443712084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-3401038567847207782011-09-22T18:01:46.411-04:002011-09-22T18:01:46.411-04:00Terri, try rinsing your rice at least once before ...Terri, try rinsing your rice at least once before adding the correct measure of water to it.

Both bought by my mom as Xmas presents, when she goes out and spend more on a THING than I could bring myself to do and gets me one that really works. I think that's the difference--something that does everything right makes a job at least tolerable, if not fun. <br /><br />If you ever hear of a vacuum cleaner that makes you feel that way, let me know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-29680948670630666572011-09-22T13:07:51.708-04:002011-09-22T13:07:51.708-04:00I have to admit that the idea of a new iron doesn&...I have to admit that the idea of a new iron doesn't excite me, Terri. A new electric skillet? Maybe. A new computer? Well, my current one and I get along fine, but I do need to be able to keep up with changes in technology, I suppose.Linda O.

Of course, that cooker cost only $6.

I agree that a great iron and great sewing machine make all the difference in productive quilting and sewing. My favorite tool right now is the rice cooker my DH got me.
